VERSE 1:
E
There's a breakdown on the runway, And the timeless flights are gone
DAE
I'm a year ahead of myself these days, And I'm locomotive strong
E
My city spread like cannon fire In a yellow nervous state
DAE
I can't cut the ties that bind me To horoscopes and fate
CHORUS:
D/AAD/AA
And I won't break and I won't bend
D/AAE
But someday soon we'll sail away
BB7EE7
To innocence and the bitter end
D/AAD/AA
And I won't break and I won't bend
D/AAE
And with the last breath we ever take
BB7AE
We're gonna get back to the simple life again
BRIDGE:
GEGDAAGEGDA
VERSE 2:
When we break out of this blindfold I'm gonna take you from this place
Until we're free from this ball and chain I'm still hard behind the eight
My city beats like hammered steel On a shallow cruel rock
If we could walk proud after midnight We'd never have to stop
CHORUS
SOLO:
